Color seems to be decreasing in my hard plate coral

[Lisa Cain]

I have a n orange plate coral in my Red Sea Max 250 -65 gallon aquarium. TO me, it may be my imagination but the coral's orange color is not as vibrant and orange as before. I feed it oyster feast. I try to give it food but it does not seem to eat it. Does it look okay? Is there any advice that someone can give? I also attached a picture of two of one of my red Stoney corals.

Can we see that…
Plate corals have dismal long term success.
The LT plates are just as bad, great for 1-4 months, then poof.

Yes, my LT plated died. The orange has been in the tank about two months. I posted pictures.

Try it on the sand bed. These corals actually move a bit.

Thank you for the advice!
